In music anime, band girls won't be alone.

With a slight sigh, Shirakawa turned to go back, only to see Yoru Nai standing not far behind him, holding a cat and tilting her head slightly as she looked at him.

When their eyes met, Yue Nai put the baby she was holding on the ground, then slowly walked up to Shirakawa Sawa, a hint of doubt in her eyes.

"you are not happy?"

Shirakawa Ze didn't speak, but raised his hand and patted the girl's head.

"It's almost ten o'clock, aren't you going home yet?"

Yoro Nai gently shook her head.

"Playing with the cat."

Then she looked up at his face.

"you are not happy?"

Shirakawa Sawa sighed again and sat down on the bench next to him.

"I wouldn't say I'm unhappy."

"I'm just a little unhappy."

A look of confusion appeared in Yue Nai's eyes, as if she couldn't quite understand whether the words meant the other person was happy or unhappy.

If you can't figure something out, just don't think about it.

This is the rule for cats.

She sat down on the bench and continued to look at the other person's face.

"Find something to do."

"Happy."

Shirakawa looked at the girl in front of him and spoke with a hint of a joke.

"I love petting cats, can you turn into a cat and let me pet you?"

This was said in jest, but it was because I had this thought in mind that I said it.

After all, the other person felt so much like a cat to him, always making him feel ticklish inside.

Yoro tilted her head, then lay back on Shirakawa Ze's lap, looking at him with her pure and innocent big eyes.

After a second of eye contact, Yao Lena raised her hand and made a cat paw gesture, while meowing.

Shirakawa Ze froze instantly, his scalp tingling, his mind racing.

No, buddy, that's too much.

I'm going to treat you to matcha parfaits for the rest of my life!

Volume 1: Chapter 52 focuses on a key point: control

Seeing Shirakawa Ze's expression as if he had been melted, Kaname chuckled.

Then she got up and pressed herself against him, rubbing her face against his shoulder.

At the same time, he leaned on the other person's shoulder, his eyes gazing at the sky, but no one could tell what was on his mind.

Perhaps I don't have any particular thoughts.

The two of them sat there quietly.

This quietness was surprisingly reassuring.

However, the peace between people will eventually be broken.

Shirakawa Sawa had considered that it might be himself, or that it might be Rakuna, but he never expected it to be Nagasaki Motoyo again.

When the latter saw the two of them and this scene, he did not associate them with anything ambiguous.

If you replaced Yoro with any other girl she knew, she would inevitably overthink things.

"Ze-jun, and the stray cat?"

Nagasaki Motoyo sat down on the other side of Shirakawa Sawa, while looking at Kaname Rakuna.

"I'm sorry, I don't know your name yet."

The cat didn't seem to care. It looked away from her and spoke softly.

"want."

"Lena."

Nagasaki Motoyo nodded with a smile.

"Okay, little Lenal."

She was still happy to meet the two people here.

After all, back in RiNG, for some reason, when talking to Shirakawa Sawa in front of Shiina Tatsuki, I always felt that the other person's eyes were intentionally or unintentionally revealing a sense of surveillance.

This made her feel very uncomfortable.

Kaname suddenly remembered what she wanted Shirakawa Sawa to do back in RiNG, so she gently tugged at his sleeve and pointed at Nagasaki Motoyo.

"Shirakawa, I'm not happy."

"You can smell her."

"She smells wonderful."

Shirakawa Sawa and Nagasaki Motoyo both started sweating at the same time.

The former looked at Yao Lenai, his tone calm.

“Lanna, it is very impolite to smell someone else’s scent without permission, so you shouldn’t do that.”

"I can't do that, and you can't do it in the future either."

Kaoru tilted her head slightly, thought for a moment, and then spoke.

"unauthorized?"

"The other party is willing."

"Then it's not unauthorized."

Shirakawa Ze didn't expect the other party to suddenly have a breakthrough and actually succeed in thinking about it, but he didn't feel happy because he knew that things were going to get bad.

Sure enough, after saying those three sentences, Kaname immediately came to Nagasaki Motoyo's side, looking at her with her big, innocent eyes.

"Let Shirakawa smell it."

"May I?"

Nagasaki Motoyo was now covered in sweat, and seemed quite unhappy about meeting the two of them.

She felt that she really couldn't handle someone as innocent as Lena, because she had no idea what kind of thought process was going through Lena's mind.

But the other person is very cute, especially since every time they part, she feels a sense of reluctance.

That feeling was like parting from a parent and child...

However, Motoyo Nagasaki is good at extracting and utilizing information.

Upon hearing that Rakuna was saying Shirakawa was unhappy, she immediately avoided the question and turned her gaze to the boy beside her.

"Ze-jun is unhappy?"

"Did something happen?"

"Why don't you tell me about it?"

Shirakawa Sawa smiled and shook his head, saying it was nothing.

He couldn't say that he was in a bad mood because of Toyokawa Shoko; if he did, the city would have one more heartbroken person.

Nagasaki Motoyo's eyes darkened, she looked away and lowered her head to look at her feet.

Just then, a cat appeared nearby. It was a very beautiful white cat, and Yoro was instantly attracted to it, jumping off the bench to chase after it.

After a moment of silence, Nagasaki Motoyo spoke softly, her voice clearly tinged with sadness.

"Ze-jun, you're really too cunning..."

"Both excessive and cunning."

Shirakawa Sawa was completely bewildered.

"Su Shi, why do you say that about me?"

Nagasaki Motoyo kept her head down, a melancholy shadow hanging over her expression, and her tone became even more aggrieved.

“When we chat, Zejun always tells me that the most important thing about friends is sharing, and I believe him.”

"Then you subtly guided me to talk about those embarrassing things from the past."

“Zejun would comfort me, affirm me, encourage me, and make me feel very happy.”

"But now, I feel you've gone too far."

"Because when I share my past with you, I always feel that you are my friend and I should tell you these things."

“If you ever encounter anything that makes you unhappy, you can tell me, and I will be your listener.”

"But now it seems I was wrong."

"Ze-jun... is really... so mean."

Upon hearing this, Shirakawa couldn't help but wonder, is Nagasaki Motoyo really a sixteen-year-old unmarried girl? How come she's now so focused on manipulating people?

That expression, that tone, those words that were ostensibly blaming but secretly coquettish, combined with the other person's looks, figure, and temperament, really gave him a complete and irresistible charm.

Most importantly, the person in question is using what they said before as the core of their argument. To refute them would be like picking up a boomerang and hitting yourself.

Shirakawa Sawa sighed softly and looked at the girl in front of him.

"Su Shi, it's not that I don't want to tell you."
